Men now monopolize the upper levels... depriving women of their rightful share of opportunities for incompetence.

Summary

This quote is sarcastically suggesting that men dominate higher positions, thereby limiting women's chances to also hold these positions and make mistakes. It implies that women are being denied the same opportunities as men, not only to succeed but also to fail or be incompetent. The quote highlights the unequal distribution of power and the irony of how women are often excluded from positions where they can prove their capabilities or be afforded the luxury of learning from their mistakes.
